Iran: We Have Emerged Victorious over the West

Alaeddin Boroujerdi, chairman of the Iranian Parliamentary Committee for Foreign Policy and National Security, told Al-Alam TV: “After ten years, we have emerged victorious over the West. They wanted to prevent us from acquiring nuclear technology, but we have reached that point….Now we have emerged victorious heroes. It was in our best interest to sign this agreement.

“We have now entered a new stage. We expect good results. The nuclear dossier will be removed from the agenda of the UN Security Council, and…they have acknowledged Iran’s uranium enrichment. In addition, the economic siege on the Islamic Republic will be lifted.

“They said that they did not recognize our right to enrich uranium, but at the same time, they say that Iran agreed not to enrich above 5%. This constitutes an official acknowledgement of that percentage. They officially recognized that. We consider this to be a great victory for Iran.”
